It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Trustpilot Reviews Scraper ### What does Trustpilot Reviews Scraper do? **Trustpilot Reviews Scraper** is an Apify Actor that extracts customer reviews from any company's Trustpilot page.

Trustpilot Reviews Scraper uses Apify's **consumption-based pricing model**, which means you only pay for the Compute Units (CUs) you actually use. This makes it cost-effective for both small and large-scale scraping projects. **Free Plan**: Get started with free CUs to test the Actor and scrape a few hundred reviews. **Paid Plans**: Scale up based on your needs. On average, you can scrape approximately: - **100-500 reviews** for a few CUs - **1,000-5,000 reviews** for moderate CU usage - **10,000+ reviews** for larger datasets The exact cost depends on factors like: - Number of reviews to scrape - Number of pages processed - Website response times - Proxy usage Since Trustpilot pages typically contain 20 reviews per page, scraping 1,000 reviews would require processing about 50 pages. The Actor is optimized for efficiency, using CheerioCrawler for fast HTML parsing without the overhead of a full browser. For the most accurate pricing estimate, run the Actor with a small test (e.g., 100 reviews) and check the CU consumption in your Apify dashboard. ### Input Trustpilot Reviews Scraper has simple input options. Click on the **Input** tab for more information and to see the input interface. #### Required Input - **Trustpilot Review Page URLs** - One or more URLs of Trustpilot company review pages to scrape - Format: `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/[company-domain]` - Example: `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.amazon.com` - You can add multiple company URLs to scrape reviews from different companies in a single run #### Optional Input - **Max Reviews** - Limit the total number of reviews to scrape (leave empty to scrape all available) - **Max Pages per URL** - Limit how many pages to process per company (default: 10 pages) - **Proxy Configuration** - Configure proxy settings (default: Apify Proxy enabled) #### Input Example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.amazon.com" } ], "maxReviews": 1000, "maxPages": 50 } ``` ### Output You can download the dataset extracted by Trustpilot Reviews Scraper in various formats such as **JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel**. #### Output Example Each review in the dataset contains the following fields: ```json { "authorName": "Tim Bartek", "rating": 5, "reviewTitle": "", "reviewText": "I have been an Amazon and Quicken user forever.

Our scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, or personal contact information. They only extract what users have chosen to share publicly on Trustpilot review pages. We therefore believe that our scrapers, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data (such as reviewer names). Personal data is protected by the **GDPR** in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/). **Important**: Always respect Trustpilot's Terms of Service and robots.txt. Use reasonable request rates and avoid overloading their servers. The Actor includes built-in delays and proxy rotation to be respectful of Trustpilot's infrastructure. ### FAQ #### How many reviews can I scrape? There's no hard limit on the number of reviews you can scrape. However, Trustpilot typically displays 20 reviews per page. If a company has thousands of reviews, you may need to process many pages. Use the `maxPages` setting to control how deep you want to go. #### Can I scrape reviews from multiple companies? Yes! Simply add multiple Trustpilot URLs to the `startUrls` array. The Actor will process each company's review page independently. #### What if I get blocked by Trustpilot? The Actor uses Apify Proxy by default, which helps avoid IP blocking. If you encounter issues: - Ensure proxy configuration is enabled - Reduce the number of concurrent requests - Add delays between requests if needed #### Can I use this as a Trustpilot API? Yes! This Actor serves as an alternative to a Trustpilot API. You can trigger runs via the Apify API and retrieve results programmatically. Check the **API** tab for integration examples. #### How accurate is the extracted data? The Actor extracts data directly from Trustpilot's HTML structure. The accuracy depends on Trustpilot's page structure remaining consistent. If you notice missing or incorrect data, please report it in the **Issues** tab. #### Can I filter reviews by rating or date? The Actor extracts all reviews as they appear on Trustpilot. You can filter the results after downloading using spreadsheet software, databases, or data processing tools. #### Do I need coding skills to use this Actor? No! The Actor is designed to be used through the Apify Console interface. Simply paste the Trustpilot URL and click "Start". However, if you want to integrate it programmatically, basic API knowledge is helpful. #### How do I integrate this with my application?

The Actor will extract all reviews from these pages and automatically follow pagination links to get additional reviews. **Example URLs:** - `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/example.com` - `https://www.trustpilot.com/review/shop.example.com` You can add multiple company pages to scrape reviews from different companies in a single run. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): The maximum number of reviews to scrape across all pages. The Actor will stop scraping once this limit is reached. **Note:** Leave this field empty to scrape all available reviews from the specified pages. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): The maximum number of pages to scrape per start URL. Trustpilot paginates reviews, and this setting limits how many pages the Actor will process for each company page. **Note:** Setting this to 1 will only scrape the first page of reviews. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxies to be used by your scraper. By default, the Actor uses Apify's proxy pool to avoid rate limiting and IP blocking. **Recommended:** Use Apify Proxy for better reliability and to avoid getting blocked by Trustpilot. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.trustpilot.com/review/example.com" } ], "maxPages": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `reviews` (type: `string`): All scraped reviews stored in the default dataset # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
